You don't have to tell me about them - I'm a long, long, long term prog fan - but I always preferred Sylvia from Focus. It's a much more lyrical track, and the time signature changes are stunning. I grew up listening to bands like Focus, ELP, King Crimson (as well as the more standard metal and rock acts). Basically, if there was an electric guitar, some distortion and musical ability, I probably listened to it.

Well wow - how generic is this?Yes you could put Blind Guardian and Nightwish in kinda the same box (though you should call it something like epic/melodic/opera-metall but there is a lot more going on in europe (just look at the nordics) to just label it EURO ...There is the hole range of metal - from black/death to progressive and aside from a few exceptions every major metal band seems to come from some EU country nowadays ...

btw: nightwish is not what it used to be ... just popish rock ... go listen to some Amorphis, Draconian or even Epica

You are absolutely right. It would have been much more Microsofty to prompt you for where you would like it to be displayed in. But just to be safe also pre-prompt them for the display of the prompting display.

Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

I just don't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to have their mouth on fire while they eat. My wife is Latina, and she knows better than to any kind of 'hot' spice in my food. I don't even use table pepper.

The misconception is that 'spicey' is 'taste'. It is not. Taste and Sensation are two entirely different things.

The golf ball-sized pepper scored the highest among a handful of chile breeds reputed to be among the hottest in the world. Its mean heat topped more than 1.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale, while fruits from some individual plants reached 2 million heat units.

Unless you're just a glutton for pain, you would only use a small portion and dilute it. Each pepper has a unique flavor. From the post you linked:

More bang for the buck is how Bosland describes it. He said a family could buy two of the super-hot peppers to flavor their meals for an entire week.

The beauty of the peppers is they're not only the hottest in the world, but they're also some of the most flavorful peppers, Duffy said.

"You can make a barbeque sauce or a hot sauce at a mild to medium level using small amounts of these peppers and it will be so darn addictive that you won't want to put your spoon down," he said. "You'll want to eat and eat and eat."
